Blake Lively’s Publicist Says She Didn’t Defame Justin Baldoni When She Wrote ‘The Whole Cast Hates Him’


Blake Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane, argued it was not defamatory to say that the whole cast of "It Ends With Us" hated director Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively ‘s publicist argued in a legal filing Thursday that it was not defamatory to tell a reporter that the entire cast of “It Ends With Us” hated director Justin Baldoni. “Justin Baldoni has spent years profiting off the feminist and #MeToo movements, peddling books, podcasts, TED Talks, and more using slogans about believing survivors, ending victim blaming, and promoting informed consent,” Sloane’s lawyers argue. “His conduct in this dispute is therefore sheer hypocrisy, beginning with his egregious sexual harassment of multiple employees, and continuing with his ongoing campaign to discredit and blame his victims and punish anyone who speaks out against him.”
